Logitech Provides Ultimate Ears for iPod Music

The new MetroFi 170 and MetroFi 220 noise-isolating earphones promise to deliver customized comfort for listening to music on an iPod. They use silicone ear-cushions that are soft enough to conform to the unique shape of your ear canal. Price starts at $49.99.

“If you’re looking to upgrade your generic MP3-player listening experience, the MetroFi 170 and 220 earphones are ideal,” said Philippe Depallens, Logitech vice president and general manager of the Ultimate Ears product unit. “Unlike the ear buds that come with your MP3 player, once you put the MetroFi 170 and 220 earphones in your ear, they’ll stay there and feel good. So whether you’re exercising, running errands, or just on the run – with the MetroFi earphones you’ll always be in the zone.”

While ear buds sit at the opening of your ear, the company says, Ultimate Ears by Logitech earphones deliver customized comfort by creating a “magic” seal between your ear and the outside world, limiting ambient noise. So you can hear your music clearly without being cut off from the world around you. Both the MetroFi 170s and the 220s provide 16 dBs of noise isolation.

Featuring a titanium-coated speaker that delivers a crisp sound signature, the MetroFi 220 earphones will give a fuller mix with more detail in the higher-frequency range for deeper bass and clear treble.

Both, the 170s and 220s, also include a red-colored right earphone to help you distinguish between left and right earphones. In addition, you’ll get a pocket-sized carrying case to protect your earphones.

All MetroFi earphones are compatible with any iPod digital device, MP3 player, or laptop with a 3.5 mm jack, says Logitech.

The MetroFi 170 and the MetroFi 220 earphones are also available in iPhone- and BlackBerry-compatible models – the MetroFi 170vi and MetroFi 220vi earphones – with voice-integrated technology.

For handsfree calling, the MetroFi 170vi and MetroFi 220vi earphones offer a miniature microphone that lets you switch between making calls and enjoying music and video on your iPhone or BlackBerry.

All new MetroFi earphones come with a 1-year limited hardware warranty.

The suggested retail prices for the MetroFi 170 and the MetroFi 220 noise-isolating earphones are $49.99 and $79.99, respectively, and the suggested retail price for the MetroFi 170vi and the MetroFi 220vi earphones are $59.99 and $89.99, respectively.

These products are expected to be available in February in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.
